Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Kuhlmann has moved to the Nebraska ONE gym since her appearance on the Prep Dig Circuit, but her upward momentum has persisted throughout. She got championship experience with Lincoln Lutheran last fall and helped Nebraska ONE 17 Black earn a GJNC bid through the Great Plains Region. Kuhlmann has been an exceptional addition to the 17 Black lineup with her quickness off the floor and ability to close blocks from pin to pin. Look for another step forward during this fall’s championship defense.

From one state champion to another. Kuhlmann joined Lincoln Lutheran last fall and made a quick impression at the middle blocker spot. Her lateral quickness allows her to seal blocks and keep up with the fast-paced offenses across the Nebraska prep scene. Kuhlmann made another high-profile move this spring when she joined the Nebraska ONE 17 Black crew alongside many of her Lincoln Lutheran teammates. This has led to immediate success and a chance to hoist more trophies in Dallas.

Kuhlmann’s big gains have now led to a state title run. She made the move to Lincoln Lutheran and made an instant splash in the stacked Warrior frontcourt. The Wilber-Clatonia transfer racked up over two kills per set on a 0.342 clip en route to another Lincoln Lutheran triumph in Class C2. Before that, Kuhlmann showed her readiness for championship-level volleyball when she appeared on our expo stage. Look out for the future senior leader.

VCNebraska 16 Elite deployed several different middle blocker lineups throughout 2024, but the position remained a strength through it all. Kuhlmann anchored the position at GJNC and provided significant production when 16 Elite needed it most. The team raced out to a 6-0 start with athletes like Kuhlmann going over, around, and through any block in front of them. Kuhlmann is transitioning to Lincoln Lutheran this fall and will immediately shake up Lincoln’s 2026 scene.

Kuhlmann’s designated position largely depends on whether it’s the fall season or the spring. Her sophomore campaign with Wilber-Clatonia was a reminder of how effective Kuhlmann can be on the outside. Her pin-hitting prowess put her among the state’s leading scorers in the 2026 class. Kuhlmann is still a high-volume scorer with VCNebraska 16 Elite, but she gets it done in the middle for this group. 16 Elite is not afraid to draw up some unique routes to showcase Kuhlmann’s range and quickness along the net. It worked wonders at the GPR Bid Tournament.

Kuhlmann is one of several small-town contributors to VCNebraska that we highlighted during the club season. Her impact is also felt on the prep side, where Wilber-Clatonia takes full advantage of Kuhlmann’s physicality at the middle blocker spot. She has compiled over two kills per set with the Wolverines and will likely see her production rise in the coming weeks.
